FINAL
With Sunday's 4-1 victory over los Cangrejeros de Santurce at Hiram Bithorn Stadium, los Criollos de Caguas are now just one victory away from capturing the club's second title in the last five years.
They head back to Parque Yldefonso Sola Morales for Game Eight with hopes of dethroning the league's defending back-to-back champion in front of their home crowd.
Four Caguas relievers combined to protect a 4-1 lead with six scoreless innings of work in support of starter John Brownell. Will Oliver gained the victory with 2.1 innings of two hit ball, with two strikeouts. Ricardo Gomez earned his sixth save of the post-season.
At the plate, Caguas batters greeted Santurce starter Hiram Burgos with four first inning hits in taking an early 2-0 lead. A one-out double by shortstop Jack Lopez in the top of the second, an RBI triple by catcher Jonathan Morales, and a sac-fly from right-fielder Jorge Padilla staked Caguas to a 4-0 lead.
Los Cangrejeros scored their only run of the game off John Brownell in the bottom of the second on a lead-off triple by right fielder Juan Silva, and a sac-fly from Christian Vasquez.
Caguas is now 3-1 this series at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Santurce would host Game Nine if necessary.
- Founded in 1939, los Cangrejeros de Santurce are 14 time league champions, and as previously noted, are still the reigning back-to-back champions until further notice. This year's top regular season team, Santurce has gone on to win the Serie Caribe on five occasions.
- Founded in 1938, los Criollos are in search of their 17th league championship. Their most recent came during the 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 seasons. They have gone on to win three Serie Caribe titles in their history.
